MS-CC Ransomware Security and Cyberinfrastructure Workshop

The workshop will include a keynote presentation, a panel discussion with cybersecurity leaders, and hands-on learning opportunities, including access to open-source security tools and documented best practices for campus infrastructure. 

There will be two tracks –  an executive track and a technical track – focused on improving your institution’s cybersecurity posture and knowing how to respond to ransomware attacks. 

Informal networking opportunities provide you with opportunities to meet and build connections with your peers and cybersecurity professionals and leadership from regional and national non-profit organizations supporting the research and education community in the U.S.
